S54 swapped BMW E36 M3 bid to $34k on Bring A Trailer.
This S54 swapped total mileage unknown 1998 E36 M3 bid to $34k on Bring A Trailer recently. 159k mile E46 M3 cluster, 11 previous owners, clean CarFax, rod bearings & vanos completed with a 6 speed gearbox. What do you think about this auction not selling?
This 1998 BMW M3 sedan was fitted with a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six, six-speed manual transmission, steering rack, instrument cluster, and other components from an E46 M3 during a custom build that was chronicled in a dedicated thread on Bimmerforums. It was later offered on BaT in August 2024 and acquired by its current owner in 2026. Work since that time involved retrofitting tinted taillights and replacing the tires and drive belts. Riding on BC Racing coilovers as well as 17″ Style 24 alloy wheels, the car is finished in Alpine White and is further equipped with revised chassis bracing, a stability control system, HID headlights, and a GT-style rear wing. Inside, the heated power-adjustable front seats are trimmed in black leather and complemented by dual-zone automatic climate control, a custom steering wheel, and a touchscreen Sony head unit. This modified E36 M3 is now offered on dealer consignment with a clean Carfax report and a California title.
The steering wheel has been rewrapped in leather with tri-color stitching and multifunction buttons from an E39 5-Series. The retrofitted E46 M3 gauge cluster shows 159k miles on its digital odometer, approximately 2,500 of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown, and the fuel-level gauge is inaccurate at readings below half a tank of fuel.
